When wages remain stagnant, imposing a minimum wage is one vehicle for driving them higher, explains Jennifer Blanke, Chief Economist at the World Economic Forum. This of course leads to higher wages for those with jobs, but the potential downside is that employers cut jobs, leading to higher unemployment.
Some cataracts grow larger or denser over time, causing severe vision changes. Severe cataracts can cause loss of independence for older adults as decreased vision may affect driving, working, reading, or hobbies. While cataracts can cause blindness, this is rare. Surgery is usually done before a cataract progresses far enough to cause blindness. A rare type of cataract can lead to glaucoma.
A: Good question. There are many places in the world where cataract surgery isnât available. As a result, an estimated 20 million people worldwide are totally blind from cataracts. So if you could delay the onset of this aging change, you might prevent severe vision loss in a significant number of people.
